     Course information page

The Bachelor of Engineering Science requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time) and has been designed for students who do not have Year 12 Mathematics and Physics.

The course is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.

  • Course aims
  • Learning outcomes
  • Program of study
  • Combined degrees

Admission requirements

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements. There are no prerequisites.

Course aims

The course has been designed to provide graduates with:

  • a foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering
  • an awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of engineering
  • an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems
  • an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them
  • well-developed written and oral communication skills
  • structured engineering work experience
  • the ability to work and interact professionally as an individual and as a member of multi-disciplinary teams
  • an understanding of the need to undertake lifelong learning and the capacity to do so

The course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the award, students will be able to:

  • competently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of engineering system
  • apply their skills and knowledge in a professionally responsible manner
  • communicate effectively with other engineers and the wider global community using a wide range of communication technologies
  • work professionally as an individual and in a team
  • understand and describe the processes through which current knowledge was developed
  • develop engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied
  • engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge

Course Rule Notes

  1. Students planning to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental)(Honours) should select the Civil Engineering major
  2. Students planning to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics)(Honours) or the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electronics Systems and Security) should select the Electrical and Electronic Engineering major
  3. Students planning to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Maritime)(Honours) should select the Mechanical Engineering major
  4. Students following the Mechanical Engineering Major may be required to undertake topics in a different sequence due to pre-requisites
  5. Students entering with SACE Year 12 Mathematical Methods may, with the permission of the Course Coordinator, substitute alternative topics for MATH1701 Mathematics Fundamentals A and MATH1702 Mathematics Fundamentals B
  6. Students who have completed SACE Year 12 Physics may, with the permission of the Course Coordinator, substitute PHYS1701 Physics for the Modern World with another topic

Combined degrees

The Bachelor of Engineering Science may also be studied in a combined degree program with another Bachelor degree in the College of Science and Engineering where the combination meets the requirements of the credit transfer policy.
